Brady's Farewell

I cant even believe it.

My little Brady is on a mission.

Missions are amazing!

But just because they are amazing and they're what we should be doing

 doesnt make it any easier to say good bye.

 

Poor Brady has been waiting a long time to go on his mission.

The second he was done with high school,

he could not wait to get out there and serve the Lord.

But his call made him wait a little longer then he would have liked.

 

I am not going to lie,

I wasnt sad about it.

I was so happy that we got more time with this kid!
Brady is the funnest most entertaining kid ever.
I am so glad that I got to know him so well when we lived in Provo.
He is going to make an amazing missionary.

Getting to Brady's farewell turned out to be a little challenging.
Dust had a HUGE paper due Saturday night at 9.
So he could not leave until the paper was done.
So I ended up driving up on Saturday,
Dust flew up on Sunday morning
and then we drove back Sunday afternoon,
to get to school and the clinic by Monday morning.
Dust was there for a total of like 7 hours.
It was crazy.

But it was worth it.
Dad gave an update on Carter.
Brady gave the most amazing talk ever.
Gacy Jane spoke
And Grandpa Call spoke.
It was the best meeting of all time.

I am so glad that we made it up there to wish out little brother farewell.
 



Valentines and St. Patrick's Day

Valentines Day/ Ryan's Birthday

This year for Valentines Day, we decided to spend it with family.

Ryan was in town from New York auditioning for his PHD at UNLV.

I feel like we never get to see him anymore.

I hate that he lives so far away, and cant wait for him to move back to the West Coast 

It was also his birthday on the 18th,

 and he was headed back to New York on the Red Eye Valentines night.

So we decided to do a little family dinner together at our favorite place....Flemmings.

I am not a huge steak fan but I LOVE Flemmings.

Their Filet Oscar is out of this world!!!

It was a blast being able to celebrate Ryan's birthday with the family

and eating some amazing food.

St. Patrick's Day

I know I say this every year, but I love St. Patty's day.

It is seriously one of my favorite holidays.

I love all the green, the leprachons, the shamrocks, and candy.

It reminds me of my little Irish Grandpa who passed away a few years ago.

I love thinking about him, and our rich family heritage.

This year we had a special treat.

My Aunt Ginger invited us to eat with her at the Las Vegas Country Club.

They prepared a traditional Irish dinner that was to die for.

I loved all of the cabbage, stew, potoates, and good Irish desserts.

We were also lucky enough to sit by a party that was real in to the holiday.

They invited us to sing Irish tunes with them.

At first Dust and I could not stop laughing, but it actually turned out to be really fun.

  

Tauna's Wedding

I had been looking forward to this wedding for months!!!

Ever since Tauna asked the Sensational Seven to all be her bridesmaids

I couldnt wait.

The Seven of us have not All been together for 4 years.

I was so excited just to see everyone and celebrate this special day with Tauna.

Tauna is the last of us to get married.

It was so fun having all of us in the temple together.

It makes me so incredibly happy that all seven of us got married in the temple to amazing guys.

I love everyone's spouses and I am so glad that all my girls are so happy.

Tauna's wedding was magical.

She was surrounded by so much family.

It was so fun seeing all of her siblings and family all there together.
 I love the Garvin family and look up to them so much.

They are the most incredible people, and I hope my family can be like them someday.

Tauna and Isaac, I love you guys and I am so happy that you found eachother.



Easter 2013

This Easter has to be my favorite Easter of all time.

First of all Dustin was on Spring Break the week before.

With Dustin in Law School, any time that he has off I treasure.

Even though he was still busy with studying, he wasnt as stressed as usual.
It was fun being able to come home from the clinic everyday and being able to just chill with him.

And since he did have a little break, his parents and little sister's decided to come down.

I love when the Calls come down.

It is always a blast with them.

We had so much fun staying up late talking and of course eating.

The two things that we do best.

His parents were also so great because they helped us with stuff around the house.

I have had a couple of things on my to do list for the last 6 months and they helped us finish those.

I love the Calls and feel so blessed that I am in their family.

The Saturday before Easter is our annual Whipple Easter Party.

One of my favorite events of the year.

This year it was held at my parents house.

The day was spent BBQing, swimming, watching march madnes, visiting, and of course doing a Easter egg hunt.

It was so fun hanging out with family, and I look to many more days like this.

I am so grateful for my Savior.
I am grateful that he came to this earth, that he atoned for all of our sins,
and that he rose on the third day.
I love that we celebrate the Savior's resurrection surrounded by family and friends.
He is the one that made it all possible so that we can
 live with our families forever.



Brainhead Weekend

If any of you know my family,

we are NOT outdoor people.

I wasnt sure if it was because of my parents extreme fear that we would get hurt,

or they just didnt know how to do the outdoor.

But we did not venture to the great outdoors much.

 

Ever since I married into the Call family,

they have helped me realize just how great the outdoors are.

I have become a hiking, jogging, skiing...outdoor junkie.

And I am always trying to share my new love with my family.

So when my Dad informed me that one of his patient offered us their house up in Parawon,

 I jumped on the oppritunity to get my family out skiing.

We had the best weekend ever.

My siblings LOVED skiing and are begging my parents to go again.

They were naturals.

They tried snowboarding the first day and then skiing the second.

They seemed to do better with skiing.

 

Then on the second day, Dustin's brothers Brady and Tanner came and joined us.

They are also snowboarders and wanted to try skiing.

Dust and I had a blast teaching everyone.

By the end of the day they were going down black diamonds.

There were a few great falls and a lot of good laughs.

 

It was such a fun weekned, filled with family, skiing, some great food.

My favorite things in the world.

 

 



Winter 2012

A lot has been going on in the last two months.

Here is a quick run down on our lives.

Dustin finished his first semester of Law School.

I think Law School has been harder on me then him.

I hate that I never get to see him anymore.

And when we are together, he is worried about school.

I am being a little dramatic.

It really wasn’t bad at all....until finals.

During the three weeks of finals, I was doing my surgical rotation.

We would by lying in bed on Sunday and I would turn to him and say…

See you in a week.

No joke

We did not see eachother besides going to church for a couple of weeks there.

But I am happy to report that Dustin is loving Law School.

He is loving what he is studying and is so passionate about the Law.

 We celebrated our 3^rd Anniversary…..

A month late.

With Dustin in the middle of his law finals,

and with Thanksgiving a couple of days later,

we decided to hold off on our Anniversary till after Finals.

It was a good choice.

We spent the day together working out, going to a movie,

and then going to this new amazing little Italian Restaurant.

They had the best lobster Ravoli, I have ever had in my life.

We have to go back there soon.

I love being married to such a foody.

Since we have been in Vegas we have discovered so many new places to eat.

It is our goal in life to find every good restaurant in Vegas.

And we are well on our way to doing so.

I also cant believe that we have  been married for three years.

It just seems like yesterday that I was a little Freshman

at BYU dating this totally “old” super hot guy.

It has been the most amazing three years of my life,

and I am so grateful to have my best friend at my side.

Rebel Games

With BYU and UNLV in different conferences, it has made our married life so much easier.

We can now cheer on both the Rebs and the Cougars without conflict.

We LOVE going to the Rebel games.

They are so much fun to watch this year.

We love ALL of the players.

 

 

Hardy Party

We of course went out to Logandale for the Annual Hardy Party.

It’s a family tradition that the Saturday before Christmas

the whole gang gets together and celebrates.

It’s so much fun seeing our family and catching up with the people we love.

 Beatty Nevada

Our Bishop asked Dustin and I to speak in a branch in our Stake

about an hour and half away on Christmas Sunday.

At first I was a little sad because my whole family was in

town and my mom was speaking in her ward.

But it ended up being the best day ever.

We got to speak about Christ and feel the wonderful spirits of the people who live out in Beatty.

Dustin and I had a blast and we hope they will ask us to speak again.

 

Christmas

Christmas Eve was filled with the normal festivities.

We went out to Breakfast at Hash Hash a go go.

If you have not been it’s a must.

 

That night was filled with  Christmas PJs, games, Lobster, Steak, great food, and family.

What was different this year is we got invited to go to

Christmas Mass with our family friends the Devlins.

This is something that I have always wanted to go to.

It was amazing and I loved going to bed on Christmas Eve thinking about the Savior.

I am so grateful for the Devlins and their wonderful example of how to live your life.

 

The Calls and Utah

The Day after Christmas we headed up to Utah to visit our family.

Lucky for us my Doctor that I was rotating with took the week off so I had some time off.

This had to be one of my favorite times up to Utah

We spent a day with Matt and Kourt up in Park City.

We always LOVE seeing these to and loved being able to catch up.

We got to go to Matt's work and see him in action.

 

The next day we had a blast shopping with the Call girls.

We went up to City Creek (because dustin had never been)

He spent the day shopping with all the girls

but I think he likes to shopping more than I do.

We went to Tyler and Amanda’s house and got to see all of Dustins buddies.

It was so much fun to catch up with them, and to see all of their cute kids.

Then we went snow showing one with with Al and Matt.

I had never been before and I had a blast.

I seriously cant wait to go again.

We went at midnight and it was so beautiful and peaceful up there.

The last day we spent with the WHOLE Call gang.

We had a family dinner at the new and improved Dan and Julies House

It was so much fun to see all of the Calls

Then the next day I went home to get back to work and Dust stayed a few more days.

New Years Eve

Dust and I spent New Years Eve apart this year.

Not my favorite.

But I did get to hang out with my little sister, go the Wise's, and see some great friends.

 

 

Jason’s Eagle

I cant even believe how old my little brother is.

He received his Eagle Scout a couple of months ago,

And we finally had the time to throw him a little party.

It was quite the Janet Kelly production.

Decorations, poems, Ryan singing, and some great food.

I think I am going to have to higher my mom to throw parties for me. Lol

 

 

 

We are so proud of little Jay
